Cows & countryside

Early spring weather in March next to the river "Maas".  That day had some great clouds, something what you don't get often in this time of year.

Feelings in a picture

Two pictures with quite a different feeling. The first could have been taken 100 years ago. The whole atmosphere is giving that feeling of the past; the light, bicycles, old tram rail, etc. The second one
has a modern touch due to the bguilding in the background.

City birds


In the city you can photograph birds in different kind of surroundings which can give a strange touch to a picture.

Color abstract

Has anyone an idea what this is?

More of those lovely bicycles

Just can't get enough of those old bicycles. They just have character...

Was I just in the 50's?

Felt like really going back in time when I came across this place. Wish I could...mmm...

Cute house

In the area of "Oud-Zuid", "Old-South", in Amsterdam there are some nice old houses hidden between less old buildings. This small house looks almost cute between the modern giants.

People from Mars

Two guys driving a scooter and dressed completely in green. No, that's not possible... Yes, in Amsterdam it is possible. Almost every day you see something funny or strange. If Paris is your kind of town, please don't go to Amsterdam. :)

Lovely Amsterdam

Is there somebody who doesn't like this? Hard to believe... And you know, not every house need to be exactly
straight. No problem if a house is hanging little bit too the left or right. And the same high? No, why should they?

Sunny got a friend

Sunny found a great friend in Amsterdam. They felt like they new each other for some time already...

I did lock my scooter, didn't I?

Somebody looked his scooter with a big and heavy lock. But....what a shame, he locked it wrong. He was putting the lock through the front wheel and around the metal bridge. In other places this would be fine, but not in Amsterdam. When they see this bad locked scooter, they just unscrew the front wheel and take the scooter with. Sameway they do with bicycles...So please use two locks. If you only lock your back wheel, they will steel your front wheel...Very sad.

Living in a boat

Living on a boat in Amsterdam sounds romantic, but does this look romantic?
 

Foggy morning

In a country with a high humidity, it can be sometimes very foggy. The sun is trying to break through, but it managed only in the end of the afternoon.

Sluiswachtershuis in Amsterdam

This old "sluiswachtershuis" is dated from 1600 and looks now quite misplaced with this new modern building behind it. This old building is almost leaning towards the modern building.

Dutch countryside

Holland is flat, very flat with little or no forest. This kind of view can be almost from anywhere. Small country roads, few trees, farm houses and small water channels.
